Hello, I just finished reading my first real estate book from Bigger Pockets, and I wanted to join the Bigger Pockets community. I'm new to real estate and would love to meet anyone here or local in Fresno, CA. I'm hoping to purchase my first investment property this year.

Hi welcome to the investment world! I would say the biggest lessons I have learned are that real estate investing does take time and you will make mistakes. But you can always learn from the mistakes you make so they do not have to happen again!
